This is delicious. It certainly got rave reviews from everyone. I used 2 thick, bone in chops which I cooked in the slow cooker until tender. The meat was removed from the bone and cut into cubes. Potatoes and fresh off the cob corn kernels were added along with about 2 cups of stock. The salsa did not yield enough cooking liquid. The finished stew was served over rice as suggested with warmed corn tortillas on the side.
